Captain Murphy
>>53327314Danny brown is from the gutter of Detroit.
>>53327314Danny Brown is a proper gutter rat bruv
>2015>thinking you need to be poor to become a successful rapper.white kids gonna white
>>53326789I'd call Drake upper classFuckin Degrassi money yo
Lil Wayne was taken in at like 13 by Birdman. Dude was already rich at that point.
aesop rock (obviously)
>>53327342fuck you and your opinions
>>53326747So you don't listen to rap that much? There a LOT of rappers from the middle and upper middle class. It really grinds my shit that people like you exist.
>>53327422>There a LOT of rappers from the middle and upper middle class>fails to name any

>>53327314>>53327360Drake grew up in a VERY wealthy neighbourhood in Toronto.Source: I know friends of his; I live in Toronto
>>53327497>Ice Cube>middle classhe actually went to school and shit but his family was poor as fuck
>>53327360Naaa he lived in forest hill Toronto, anyone who lives in that neighborhood is most def high class, especially for Toronto living.
literally all of them. everything about hip hop is an act, they're all fake ass motherfuckers playing characters.
>>53327738some more than others though
>>53327738you're a fucking idiot if you think literally all rappers come from a middle class background
>>53327314Danny Brown went to jail for scrapping. Definitely not middle class.
>>53326789>chance>vic mensa>majorHm
>>53328058Didn't you know Chief Keef grew up in a lilly white cul de sac?
>>53328058they still sing about the "hood" and how hard it is being when they're famous as fuck and got millions in bank.
>>53326789Chance and Vic are both Chicago niggas. They may not have been NWA level hoodrats but I'm pretty sure they weren't middle class.Then again I may just be generalising/stereotyping because they're from Chiraq nigga
>>53328150>being famous and rich changes where you came from>how hard it isNo, how hard it WAS>>53328132I don't listen to Chief Keef so no
>>53328164
>>53328164kek>ChanceHis dad was an Obama aide and works for the city government. His family also owns a tobacco farm.You know all of Chicago isn't the southside, right?
>>53327314>middle class>Detroitbait
>>53328240>I don't listen to chief keef so noLol, damn you dudes are so out of touch
>>53328249>>53328164Chance is from Chatham, which is a neighborhood on the southside. I think it's pretty close to where Keef is from.
>>53328299Not sure what you mean by that
>>53328334It is. But Chicago neighborhoods change from block to block. He's firmly from the middle class. Not that any of this shit matters.
>>53326789Drake is legitimately wealthy. His dad was a drummer for a lot of white rock groups and his mom was from a very privileged background.
Drake."Started from the bottom, now we here" is complete disingenuous bullshit to peddle his music to poor black Americans.
>>53328467He's talking about the bottom of the rap game moron.
>>53327140>>>/tumblr/
>>53328244>>53328249>>53328334>>53328421Okay yeah I dun goofed fair enough and kek when was that picture from???
>>53327422OP here, I was thinking of major rappers who aren't white.I guess Chance the Rapper and Tyler would also fit. But IDK any other examples.
>>53328467the beat is good tho
>>53328467He's talking about his rise to stardom in the music industry not about coming out of the hood. Drake's never claimed to be from the hood, idk why so many people bash him about it when he's hardly the only rapper who wasn't raised in the ghetto
>>53328517>>53328597Sorry, I didn't realize that.
>>53328517the bottom of the 'rap game' and the hardships of the ghetto are inextricably linked. Don't pretend otherwise
>>53328683Not in today's rap environment. It's not the 90's anymore, dude.
>>53327413>I am not entirely trained to undo the shame>And all I got's three pennies and a rusty mic unto my name>I walk as God’s practical joke on man, practically broke>And if they raise my rent again, I’ll spend my nights practically soaked>Suck the proverbial silver spoon 'till their parents quit apparently>Parasol spinning casually like "I'm an artist, please don't laugh at me"
>>53328597>>53328517But didn't his uncle work in showbiz?
>>53328517Drake had it easy as fuck though, he went from mixtapes to hit records within 3 years
>>53327405pls leave tripcode wannabee loser
>>53327554I think that was a low quality bait post, I dunno know
>>53328813He wasn't exactly upper class or lower class, imo.He has a bachelor's from Boston University. He had some shitty fucking jobs in his early adult life though.
>>5332676610/10
would rather celebrate the fact that a kid who was slinging heroin in ghettos at 15 now lives in a mansion at 19
nigga went to art school
>>53326747milo
>>53330392those tiny little driveable toy lambos with tiny little tvs in them that he bought for his kids to race round his mansion in are fucking heartwarming
>>53326789>vic mensa>garbagekill urself my man
>>53329727so did tyler and many others
>>53330564Tyler only had it easy because of how easily marketable his ideas were. Odd Future were an act perfect for their time much like Nirvana were in the 90s.
>>53330647Not Drake, tho. He definitely doesn't have an easily marketable sound. He's just an untalented hack with a silver spoon in his mouth.
>>53330553vic is a poor man's chance
>>53328901I know his dad did. Not sure about the uncle.
>>53331104nigga was on degrassi lmao
>>53331200I'm not talking about what tax bracket he comes from. I'm referring to his success in music. Regardless the dude earned his money on Degrassi. How are you gonna hate on a dude for working and furthering his career?
isn't kanye chicago single mom tier? is that considered middle class in america?
does it count if you get money illegally, cause migos were definetly middle class/upper middle class when they started releasing songs
>>53331980Donda was a professor. They were always pretty stable financially
